Edited on Fri Sep-08-06 08:22 PM by NoodleyAppendage
Keith Olbermann has a new hardback out for those who don't know, but sadly it's being Freeped in the forum even before its distribution date.

Keith Olbermann's Worst Persons in the World hardback

We need to support Keith. He's all we have in the MSM.

3. Rankings at Amazon are based upon sales. But, you could comment.
The best way is to buy the book, but it would also be helpful to post a supportive comment on the Amazon forum (about 3/4 down the page for his book).

4. That number is SALES RANK. It can't be "freeped"
The only way to change the number is to buy LOTS of copies of the book, or buy GAZILLIONS of OTHER books to push it down.

How many freepers have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on buying competing books to "freep" that number?

7. Everyone who wants to support Keith should learn to spell his name.
Come on. It can't take that long. :-)

Two N's, people. Two N's. And don't forget the L.

He'll thank you kindly for it.

Personally, I don't think anyone pushed sales of the book down, it just naturally dropped down the charts as newer books came on. It could still go up again. Regardless, it's already in a second printing and it hasn't even yet been officially "released." Truly, that's not bad. Especially when you consider that it was selling down in the six-figure ranks when it was first listed on order.

13. I supported him by pre-ordering his bobk.
I encourage others to do the same if they can afford it. Plus, I'm sure it will be a highly amusing read. :-)
